Technical Field
The present invention relates to a polarizing plate (polarizing plate, polarizer) and an optical display device including the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a polarizing plate that can minimize the penetration of metal ions between a polarizer and a protective film when a paste (paste ) containing metal powder is deposited on the polarizing plate in the thickness direction and left under high temperature and/or high temperature/high humidity conditions, and an optical display device including the same.
Background
The liquid crystal display includes polarizing plates bonded to both sides of a liquid crystal panel by an adhesive layer, such as a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) layer. In general, a liquid crystal display employs an add-on type structure (add-on structure) in which a touch panel or a touch sensor, which is independent of a liquid crystal panel, is disposed at one side or both sides of the liquid crystal panel. However, the out-hanging type has a problem of increasing the thickness of the liquid crystal display. To solve this problem, an in-cell type liquid crystal display having a touch panel or a touch sensor inside a liquid crystal panel is used.
The in-cell type liquid crystal display includes a touch panel or a touch sensor inside a liquid crystal panel. The in-cell type liquid crystal display is manufactured by bonding a polarizing plate to which a release film is attached via an adhesive layer to both sides of a liquid crystal panel through a pressure sensitive adhesive, and then removing the release film to which the adhesive layer is attached from the polarizing plate. A release film such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film to which an adhesive layer is attached is a processed film that protects a polarizing plate from foreign substances, and is removed from the polarizing plate after bonding the polarizing plate to both sides of a liquid crystal panel.
However, static electricity may be generated during the process of removing the release film from the polarizing plate. In addition, static electricity may be applied to the liquid crystal display during the process of manufacturing the liquid crystal display. Static electricity may affect a touch panel or a touch sensor inside the liquid crystal panel.
In order to prevent static electricity from damaging the liquid crystal panel, the static electricity must be dissipated. For this purpose, the polarizing plate is subjected to ESD treatment by applying a paste containing a metal powder, for example, a paste containing silver powder, in the thickness direction of the polarizing plate. Here, silver powder in the paste generates silver ions (Ag +) through ionization when it is in contact with heat, moisture, or acid. Silver ions penetrate between the polarizer and the protective film, between the protective film and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, or between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the liquid crystal panel. The infiltrated silver ions grow into silver crystals, which may reduce the luminous efficiency of the light emitted from the liquid crystal panel. In particular, silver ions or silver crystals generated therefrom, which penetrate between the polarizer and the protective film, affect the passage of light through the polarizer, thereby affecting the polarizing function of the polarizing plate. Therefore, it is required to develop a polarizing plate that minimizes the penetration of silver ions between a polarizer and a protective film while being capable of removing static electricity from the polarizing plate.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide a thorough understanding of the invention to those skilled in the art. It is to be understood that the present invention may be embodied in various forms and is not limited to the following embodiments.
Herein, the "maximum metal ion penetration length" in the polarizing plate refers to the maximum value of the metal ion penetration length between the polarizer and the protective film of the polarizing plate when a paste containing a metal powder is deposited on the surface thereof in the thickness direction of the polarizing plate and left at 60 ℃ and 95% RH for 240 hours.
In one embodiment, the metal ions may be derived from a paste containing a metal powder. Upon contact with heat, moisture or acid, the metal powder-containing paste is ionized to generate metal cations. For example, a paste containing silver powder may generate silver ions (Ag)+)。
The infiltrated metal cations grow into metal crystals. For example, a paste containing silver powder may generate silver cations. The metal ion penetration length can be measured using an optical microscope (ML61L, Olympus co., Ltd.).
The paste containing the metal powder includes 40 to 90 wt% of the metal powder having an average particle diameter (D50) of 1 to 10 μm, 5 to 30 wt% of a binder, and the balance of a solvent (e.g., in an amount of 3 to 60 wt% or 3 to 55 wt%).
The metal powder may include at least one selected from silver (Ag) powder and platinum (Pt) powder. The metal powder may have a spherical, flake or needle shape. The binder may include cellulose acetate propionate (cellulose acetate propionate), cellulose acetate butyrate (cellulose acetate butyrate), or a mixture thereof. The solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, butanol, and propylene glycol methyl acetate (PGMEA).
The paste containing the metal powder may have a viscosity of 50,000cP to 300,000cP at a temperature of 20 ℃ to 25 ℃. Viscosity can be measured using a viscometer (DV-E, Brookfield co., Ltd.).
For example, the paste containing the metal powder may be deposited by filling a syringe with the paste containing the metal powder and then injecting the paste containing the metal powder toward the surface thereof in the thickness direction of the polarizing plate, but is not limited thereto.
After the metal powder-containing paste is deposited thereon in the thickness direction of the polarizing plate, the metal powder-containing paste may remain in or be removed from the optical display device employing the polarizing plate.

Next, a polarizing plate according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1.
The polarizing plate according to the present invention includes a polarizer and a protective film stacked on at least one surface of the polarizer, wherein the polarizer includes a hydrophobic polyvinyl alcohol resin and has a surface roughness (Ra) of 10nm or less on a surface thereof facing the protective film. Therefore, the polarizing plate according to the present invention has a maximum metal ion penetration length of 400 μm or less and does not have a problem of generation of bubbles or the like when the polarizer is bonded to the protective film.
If the surface roughness Ra on the surface of the polarizer facing the protective film is 10nm or less and the polarizer contains a hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol resin, the maximum metal ion penetration length of the polarizing plate can exceed 400 μm. If the polarizer contains a hydrophobic polyvinyl alcohol resin and the surface roughness Ra on the surface of the polarizer facing the protective film exceeds 10nm, the maximum metal ion penetration length of the polarizing plate can exceed 400 μm.
Referring to fig. 1, the polarizing plate includes a polarizer 10, a first protection film 20, and a second protection film 30.
The polarizing plate may further include a release film (not shown in fig. 1) adhered to the upper surface of the first protective film 20 via an adhesive layer to protect the polarizing plate. In order to apply the polarizing plate to an optical display device, the polarizing plate is adhered to an optical display panel via a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (not shown in fig. 1), and the release film to which the adhesive layer is attached is peeled from the polarizing plate.
However, static electricity may be generated during the process of removing the release film from the polarizing plate. In addition, static electricity may be generated during the process of manufacturing the optical display device. Static electricity may affect a touch panel or a touch sensor inside the liquid crystal panel. In order to remove the static electricity from the outside, a paste 40 containing metal powder is deposited on the surface thereof in the thickness direction of the polarizing plate.

Evaluation of Properties
(1) Surface roughness of polarizer (unit: nm): the surface roughness Ra, Rz, and Rq of each polarizer were measured using a surface roughness tester (Park XE-100AFM, Park Systems, Korea). In a non-contact mode of AFM (atomic force microscope), when a fine probe is placed near the surface of a specimen, the three-dimensional shape of the specimen can be obtained by measuring the interaction force between atoms. Using a probe placed near the polarizer surface, a surface roughness image was obtained in a measurement range of 1 μm X1 μm, and data of 512 pixels were obtained in each of the X and Y directions at a scanning rate of 1 Hz.
(2) A sample was prepared by attaching a release film (PET film) having an adhesive layer to the upper surface of each of the polarizing plates manufactured in examples and comparative examples. The prepared sample was adhered to a glass plate by a (meth) acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive layer. 0.5g of a paste containing silver powder (containing 48 wt% of plate-like silver powder having an average particle diameter (D50) of 5.0 μm, 10 wt% of a binder (cellulose acetate butyrate) and 42 wt% of a solvent (PGMEA) (SCPW-6, Electro-Lube Co., Ltd.)) was deposited thereon in the thickness direction of the polarizer plate to a thickness of 200 μm, and left at 60 ℃ and 95% RH for 240 hours. Silver ions (Ag) between the polarizer and the polarizing plate protective film were measured using an optical microscope (ML61L, Olympus co., Ltd.)+) Penetration length to obtain maximumLarge penetration length. The results are shown in table 1 and fig. 4.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003198025770000171
As shown in table 1, the polarizing plate according to the present invention may minimize penetration of metal ions between the polarizer and the protective film. Therefore, the polarizing plate according to the present invention can provide an effect of removing static electricity without affecting the polarizing function and the light emitting efficiency of the polarizing plate when the release film is removed from the polarizing plate after the release film having the adhesive layer attached thereto is stacked on the polarizing plate.
In contrast, the polarizing plates of comparative examples 1 and 2 had a maximum metal ion penetration length of more than 400 μm between the polarizer and the protective film, and thus the effects of the present invention could not be achieved.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the maximum metal ion penetration length of the polarizing plate of example 1 (corresponding to (B) in fig. 4) is much smaller than that of the polarizing plate of comparative example 1 (corresponding to (a) in fig. 4).
It is to be understood that various modifications, changes, alterations, and equivalents may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
